Grounded in Creed Participant and Leader Book, Cowart Jim, Hartsfield Matthew, Cowart Jennifer

This offer to community groups (and small groups of any kind) is a six-session study based on the Apostles creed, which has served the church for nearly 1500 years as a basic summary statement about core Christian beliefs. This participant experience expands on the principle that Growing People Change their hearts and lives (a changed heart and life is the meaning of the New Testament concept metanoia, which in Elizabethan English is translated as repentance). This growth is accomplished by (1) understanding what changes in belief come through turning away from the practices that separate us from God (2) reflecting about our relationship to God while learning how to think theologically.
The six sessions are:
Session One: I believe
Session Two: In God
Session Three: In Jesus
Session Four: In the Spirit
Session Five: In the Church
Session Six: In the Promise
